Rockstar: Bad Parents Buy Our Games for Kids

[Guest]

The problem is that video games are still considered by majority to be an entertainment form explicitly for kids and no statistic can change their minds.

I agree that parents need to be discerning about what games their kids play. I know I am. My teens and I enjoy playing games together, and I won't let them play this game (thankfully, they don't want to, either).

That said, though, I am bothered by the direction of games. More and more games offend *me* now, and I'm not a kid, and I've seen more stuff in real life than most. I no longer want to be assaulted by profanity (I mean, the really bad stuff) non-stop, nor see over-the-top gore, nor have to endure irrelevent hard-core stuff.

It's a shame that a company can create a game which has great appeal based on the story and graphics, but can't make the hard-core stuff optional. I tried a war game recently, and man, grew tired of the language really quickly.

I don't begrudge you if you want those things, I just don't understand why companies can't include optional filters.

Perhaps put into effect an IQ requirement in order to have children? No sense in dilly dallying, get to the root of the problem.
